Just looking at those numbers ... why do you think we have so little Coronavirus Infections? Here are what I came up with.
(1) NY State gas more than 3 time the people density.
(2) Average income is 35% less in NY compared to WA.
Those two factors seem to contributed a lot to the outcome of this pandemic. Unfortunately, it always come down to the wealth. I do not know the number of infections based on the income level within the State. That will be something I would look at.
Surprisingly, NY State has more hospital beds per 1,000 than WA State. So it does not seems to be the medical system break down that caused explosive infections in NY State.
By no means the pandemic is over.
Let's keep up the good work. I think looking at those numbers, avoiding close contact with other people may be the key. There will be time to shake hands when it is over.
